It's a lonely life in the Navy. Perhaps outside [[Prison Rape]] or [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|single-gender schools]], one of the well-known versions of [[Situational Sexuality]] is in the naval service. For years, men would be left alone together on ships for weeks on end, as female sailors served in a very limited capacity if at all (this is slowly changing), causing these men to have their sexual urges met ''somehow''. This has led to sailors becoming sex symbols among gay men. Definitely [[Truth in Television]] on occasion, and in fiction, a common subtrope of the [[Manly Gay]] and [[Straight Gay]] types. Pretty much [[Older Than Steam]].
Line 6:
[[Dead Horse Trope|A somewhat outdated trope nowadays]], however, as most military fetishists have been leaning towards the sweaty and [[Perma Stubble|permastubbled]] soldier or marine as of late.
 
Note that the British Navy abolished the practice of flogging in 1948, and that rum rations were discontinued in 1970. [[Insane Troll Logic|The modern navyBritish Navy runs on sodomy, and sodomy alone.]]
